NEW PARTY.

Another new party is claimed to
nave sprung into existence in Iowa,
and Des Moines claims to be the par
ent. 1t is called the anti-prohibition
republican party. Th9 platform
pledges the party TO support the re-
publican party of the state in all of its
principles except prohibition. 1t pro-
poses to work for the repeal Of the
prohibitory law of Iowa. In other
words, it is composed of a new species
of mugwump. What with the prohi-
bition, anti-prohibition, mugwump and
other democratic aid societies which
claim republican parentage, the g. o. p.
of the north would be in a bad cOndi-
ton were it not for the fact that these
same factions are doing the democratic
party of the south equal damage,
while the labor movement in the north
and south is damaging the democratic
party of both sections nearly one hum
bred per cent more than it does the re-
publican party, while the intelligent
labor sentiment is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the latter party as opposed
to the free trade doctrines of the de-
mOcracy. This latter feature is max
ing rapid advance in the new south, a
convincing proof of which was given
in Kentucky at the late election.

HORTICULTURAL MEETING.

The last meeting of the Lyon County
horticultural society, held at j. V.
Randolph's grove, was fairly well at
tended and the time profitably spent in
general discussions of various topics
bearing upon the special work covered
by the society.
The lunch baskets were brought out
about noon and dinner served on the
tables prepared by Mr.. Randolph, but
soon after shower of rain caused the
fair sex to mostly decsmp for the house
and the gentlemen to take refuge I'M
der the protecting shelter of the neigh
boring houses until the shower was past,
putting in the time discussing fruits,
blight, insects, etc., etc.
A very pleasant hour was spent in
strolling through the extensive or
chards of Mr.. R., observing the varied
success of different varieties and meth
DDS of culture.
The next meeting will be held at Mr..
Randolph's on September LIST, at 1C
o'clock a. m, at which there is in.
tended to be a display of all kinds OF
| garden and orchard products. This is
probably the last out door meeting Of
this year, and is to be the fair of the
season, and all are requested to put OF
exhibition the products of their farm.
for the year-corn, potatoes, fruits ani
flowers will all be very appropriate t,

The Welsh Presby terians held their
regular quarterly Sabbath school meet
ing yesterday. There was good at
tendance from the country, but owing
to the downfall of rain the meetings
were not so largely attended as usual.
After the morning meeting an election
of officers took place for the coming
year, with the following result:
I'resident-Owen Thomas.
Secretary-Lewis Ellis.
Examiners-Rev. John Jones, Rev.
William Lewis and T. II. Lewis.
The different classes acquitted them
selves crecitably.
At the evening meeting addresses
were given by Miss Morgan, j. C. VII
liams and Lewis Ellis, the two first
mentioned deserving special mention
for their ability in delivering and the
choice of their selections, which must
have cost them considerable labor.

a word on the subject of fruits, the
season for which is at hand. Good ripe
fruit forms a pleasing and refreshing
kind of food, and, eaten moderately, it
is influential in promoting bodily
health by contributing some of the
material of the blood, of Importance to
the general vigor of the constitution.
Herodotus attributes the activity and
healthiness of the Persian race to the
variety of fruits and vegetables con-
sumed by them. Chambers says that
he feels sure that the puniness, infer
tility, pallor, fetid breath and bad
teeth which distinguish some of our
town populations are to great extent
due to their inability to get these arti-
cles of the table fresh. For the I'M
healthy state induced by a restricted
diet of dried and sailed provisions,
fresh fruits or their preserved juices
are specially efficaciOus. Fruits, eaten
beyond the limits of moderation, are
liable to prove injurious and excite in
teStinal arrangement. They are more
of disturbing element if eaten either
in the unripe or oYer-ripe state; in the
former case, from the excessive quaint
ity of the acid present; in the latter,
from the tendency to decOmpose while
being acted upon by the digestive or
gans. Authors have essentially differ
ed in the proper time of the day for
taking fruits. Some have stated that
they may be treated as mere luxuries,
and eaten at any and all times. Others
say that the safest time is in the
morning or afternoon, with stale bread
and draught of water. Thus may be
made very wholesome and digestible
lunch. Fruit may properly form a
part of the morning meal, and should
be eaten first. At that time an orange,
a pear or few grapes will not only be
well borne, but viii promote health
Ter action of the digestive organs, and
often correct intestinal irregularities.
The worst tine to eat fruit is after
hearty dinner; melons and other cold,
watery products are not only tax
upon the stomach, but also retard the
digestion of other food with which they
may be mingled.

A LONDON physician, DR.. yNogman
Kerr, thus explains what the trouble
with the drunkard is: "There is an
abnormal cerebal condition, a dyna-
michal and physical disturbance of the
brain and nerve function, real de-
parture from sound health, which is it
self a pathological state with, in all
probability, it's post-mortem equival-
emit in hyperplasma of the neuralgia. .
ANY man who will persist in drink
ing after reading the above must be
considered hero or a fool.

The hostility to immigration which
is developing into what purports to be
an American party, or, in other words,
a revival of the old Know Nothing
movement, while it undoubtedly has
some points in its claims that are wor-
thy of commentator, nevertheless,
will be more than likely to be short
lived. Powderly is said to be one of
its most active agitators, and his intiu-
ence is counted on to draw large sup
port from the Knights of Labor. But
as the K. of L. is largely composed of
foreign-born members, the possibility is
strong that Powderly's action will be
likely to have the effect of creating
greater discord than heretofore in the
ranks of the Knights of Labor. The
theory of a white native American
party is, to say the least, one that has
but an extremely small base to rest its
claims upon. Not one of US who pride
ourselves on being Americans need go
back more than generation or two to
find that we are either English, Irish,
Scotch, German, Welsh, or some other
nationality than American. And,
while, as we observed above, there
may be good features to recommend
the movement, yet the exclusiveness
which it proposes will surely prove its
destruction in course of time.
